What to Get Me For Xmas

Well maybe you weren't going to buy something for me but I bet there is someone on your list who would love a gift of a donation to help care for 100 Pitbulls seized in the OK cruelty case recently. Here's the info:

Send checks to:

110 S. Maple

Newkirk, OK 74647

Write "dogs" in the memo line.

The BAD RAP folks are heading to OK to help out. I hope I hope I hope this case has a good outcome for the victims. The fact that the OK Sheriff asked for help with the dogs instead of simply killing them all immediately (I'm looking at youHouston SPCA) is an excellent start. Let's keep the ball rolling by sending in a little cash.

MYTH: American Pit Bull Terriers lock their jaws.

Dr. Brisbin: "The few studies which have been conducted of the structure of the skulls, mandibles and teeth of pit bulls show that, in proportion to their size, their jaw structure and thus its inferred functional morphology, is no different than that of any breed of dog.

There is absolutely no evidence for the existence of any kind of "locking mechanism" unique to the structure of the jaw and/or teeth of the American Pit Bull Terrier.
